Rolling with the Tide

The Alabama Crimson Tide is on a roll and now 5-0 for the 2011 season!  

This year, we sold our season tickets, because with a new baby, there was NO WAY we would make many home games.  Wrong!  Thanks to Anna Scott's grandparents and some sweet friends of ours, we have managed to attend every home game thus far.  Patsy and Lavohn are some friends from church who have become very dear to us.  They have an awesome condo at the Houndstooth Condominiums in Tuscaloosa that has become our home away from home!  Anna Scott is able to travel down with us and stay in the condo, which has been a blessing.  I miss her too much during the games to ride there and back without her.

She has already made a good friend in Tuscaloosa.  This little sock monkey just loves her sweet hugs and kisses.

Patsy and Lavohn know how much we love Alabama Football, and last year (thanks to them), Scott and I were able to meet Coach Saban and his wife Terry.  I was 3 months pregnant at the time.  Anna Scott will get to meet Coach Saban very soon.  :)  Stay tuned for pictures!

Before the North Texas game, we had lunch at Mugshots.

  On our walk to the stadium, we saw this van.  

This was a first for me!  I do believe they make one of everything in houndstooth.

Then, with the North Texas game in the books, it was time to get ready for Arkansas!  My family traveled down for this game, and we had a wonderful Saturday together.  

And finally, it was time to ROLL with the TIDE to Gainesville, Florida!

Scott's parents joined us on the trip to keep Anna Scott during the game.  A big "Thank You!" to them for all of their help.  It is always nice to have 4 extra hands!  :)  Despite being strapped in a car seat for hours, Anna Scott was such a good baby.  We had the best time on the road as we played and sang and slept...

and played... 

and slept...

 and played some more!

 We arrived in Gainesville Friday evening, just in time to have dinner with Lavohn and Patsy at Harry's Seafood Bar and Grill.  We had a good night's rest and woke up to a beautiful Saturday, which started with a morning run and ended with a late night service station dinner (ha!) and drive back to our hotel.

Here is what happened in between...

Pre-game lunch

Pre-game nap

and a great night in The Swamp!

We are so proud of the Crimson Tide and enjoyed cheering them to victory over the Florida Gators! Gainesville was a good place to end Scott's journey to attend an Alabama game in all 12 SEC stadiums.

    

Rolling with the Tide is lots of fun, but we are due a lazy Saturday.  This week, Alabama plays Vanderbilt for Homecoming.  We will be watching every down of the game, but our little tails are staying at home.  :)
